ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ต.ค. 2023
- There are so many beautiful things that are only blooming in the cutting garden during the fall. If you're feeling like your garden is looking a little ratty or boring, I thought I'd share this tour to give you some inspiration.
The plants in the tour are Cup and Saucer Vine ‘Purple’ and ‘Alba’, Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’, Crabapple ’Evereste‘, Sunflower ‘Sparky’, Japanese Anemone ‘Whirlwind’, ‘September Charm’, and ‘Pamina’, Grasses Panicum and Miscanthus, Peegee hydrangeas (including ‘Bobo’, ‘Quick Fire’, ‘Pinky Winky’, and ‘Limelight’), Snowberry ‘Amethyst’, Seven-Son Flower, Dahlia ‘Floret’, Flowering tobacco ‘Grandiflora’, and Formosa lilies.
The metal arches and towers were custom-made by Metalistics.
Floret Flowers is a family-run flower farm and seed company located in Washington’s beautiful Skagit Valley (Zone 8b).

Seeing the non-manicured abundance and wildness of your garden is making me feel so much better about my own lush and wild “crumb of the earth” that I have the privilege of stewarding. ✨Thank you. ⭐️ I also choose to let things rest until spring, for the health of the soil & the insects, birds, etc that happen to be nearby.
Love the tour and your enthusiasm!
Would be great if you could put up the names of the plants as you are showing us please 😊
The names are listed below the video in the information.
Floret is so knowledgeable, I just listen and learn, how lucky are we to have her!
I love love love Nicotiana, I also don't know why they don't get the love they deserve.
I'm so pleased you love nicotanias....I have two varieties that self seed....one variety's seeds procured off the pavements of Woodstock one year 😂
I’m so excited that you guys are adding all of this beautiful content to your channel. I’ve been pulling away from social media lately as I’ve noticed it hasn’t been great for my mental health. Being able to be intentional with what I view/watch on TH-cam has been wonderful, and I’m so glad to still get my flower fix here
Thank you Erin and crew!! Love this!! So beautiful!
I really love seeing all the beauty in your gardens, and I always get lots of information. Please slow down a little, especially the camera. Thank you for providing extra beauty to my morning!
Love this! So glad you’re on TH-cam now!!!
very nice - thank you for sharing 🙂
I Will totally get some necotiana seeds now ❤
I love that you guys have started TH-cam! It would be great if you could “tour” the result of the garden design with your designer who came over from the UK, and maybe add some drone video to show all of the hedgerows and structure.
Hi, @shanachrisman6638! Thanks for that great suggestion. We'll pass it along to the team! In the meantime, we have a blog post on our site called "The Making of a Place" that talks more about how Erin and Becky designed the new farm and includes some wonderful aerial shots of the farm.
Wonderful evening garden tour! Thank you!
Couldn’t agree with you more about planting deliberately for the birds and wildlife to thrive and enjoy the wildness of the garden. I’m delighted to hear that message shared and how important planting natives is to creating habitats and life cycles for our insects. I’ve been a fan and customer for a while and am glad to see more videos. I recall watching the end of your first season on Magnolia and seeing the plans for the garden but never saw how the garden was planted. Now I’m seeing and have most of what you’ve talked about but discovered a few new things like the cup and saucer vine. Keep it up! By the way I’m helping spread your seed babies to VA.
Thank you
Love the fall garden tour Erin and Chris! Glad your here on You Tube!!
Being from the SC lowcountry outside of Charleston I grew up with plenty of farm kids, especially tobacco farms. Even my family's garden was over 1/4 of an acre A mature corn field, or soybeans, cotton, peanuts, etc. are all pretty. But a tobacco field in full bloom really is beautiful.
I like the variety for a home garden. I enjoy the singles too for the bees.
At the end, Erin is standing right next to a lovely maroon/wine colored flower. Maybe a Rudbekia? It's gorgeous - I'd love to know what it is!! Also, buying my cup and saucer seeds now!
Could be the “Cherry Brandy” variety of Rudbeckia, although I can’t be absolutely certain.
Rudbeckias are still blooming this time of year.
Hi, @angiebice2439! @karenm5681 is correct - those are Black-eyed Susan ‘Cherry Brandy’.
Inspirational as always - love it!
Thank you for sharing the tour of your beautiful Fall garden. I love your passion & enthusiasm of growing such beauty as you describe each flower, vine, tree, grass, & shrub. Thanks again!
Thank you! Love this tour.
Love it!
Thank you! Loved this!

Live - Lovely. This is a game changer to see you in this medium. Drought tolerant stuff I can grow (TEMPLE OF BLOOM) Thank you. Zone 8A North Texas
I got two of your books, obsessed!!! Such gorgeous photos and great info. Highly recommend your books ❤❤❤❤❤
Loving the TH-cam VIDEOS!!!!! yay!
Glad to see you in You tube. Thank you
gorgeous video🎀🩰🍂🤎
Thank you for sharing!! Oh the ideas I’m having….🌸
I am really enjoying the flowering tobacco from the seeds I bought from you last season. I had no idea how large those plants get. They are something!
audio is really low on your videos. just wanted to give you a heads up.
Yeah it’s hard for those of us that wear headphones because it goes from low to really loud because I don’t think she’s wearing a mic. I’m just watching w/o sound-still good & thanks for making these videos!
It is fine for me
Love your videos but maybe wear a mic your audio is up and down one minute loud than next low
Good Evening
Omg beautiful showing garden .
Flowers Bloom and environment
Enjoy and relax for wacth.
Thanks you for sharing
In Romania, we can see flowering tobacco a lot (many people don t even know it is from the tobacco family), smells divine on summer evenings and, in Romanian, we call it QUEEN OF THE NIGHT. I guess it needs some rebranding in English :)
Awesome garden....love to see the winter spiderweb and different textures all your plants make with the snow and ice.
Be some pretty cool photos.😊
Jo from New Zealand
Love all your videos ..and all the flowers ..please make longer videos
Wow, Erin. I think you are my new favorite flower gardening channel! I've taken some mental notes and watched this video a couple of times already. I definitely want to try those Autumn Joy Sedum, Japanese anenomes, and the Bobo or Limelight hydrangeas in my cut flower garden in Inland Southern California.
awesome thank you
I love cup and saucer vine! I got a packet of the purple from your shop and planted them way too late but they still produced beautiful flowers! I will be planting earlier this year.
Legal então lindo
Love your channel. I have enjoyed your gardens a lot. I do have trouble with the volume come in and out. It is good when your close to the camera, then fades out as you leave the camera. Any chance that could change with a different mic system. Thanks!
Loved this tour - would it be possible to include zones on the shrubs and trees?
Can you do a video on bugs and how you handle them?
Hi, @thejillykilly! Thanks for that suggestion. We'll pass it along to the team!
So beautiful!
I'm in a cold zone 4a. Can you maybe give zone information on your walkabouts, please? I'd love to know if many of these would survive in my cold zone. Thanks!
Hi, @christinenovack6048! We'll pass that feedback along to the team. We're located in Zone 8b, a much milder climate than yours. We'd recommend checking with your local nursery to see which varieties will grow best in your particular climate.
Too bad you don't love flowers. 😆 It's hard not to get infected by the enthusiasm.
Love it Erin thank you!! Please do a video on establishing Echinaea...I've failed so many times!!
Such a beautiful tour! Do you know happen to know where I could find seeds for the Whirlwind Japanese anemones?
Hi, @sommermaxwell! We'd recommend checking with your local nursery. You can also find a list of our favorite Bulb & Plant sources on our website.
What is the variety of coneflower in the last segment when you were talking about the Lillies?!?!?!
I’ve been hunting for heptacodium but they are hard to find on Vancouver Island. I’ve found a few over the last couple of years but the poor things had clearly been in their nursery pots for too long. The search continues…
The audio was inaudible when Erin was more than a foot away from the camera😞.
???
I’m in southern Ohio 6b and a bout of heat and dry weather (even though I watered) caused all of our hydrangea blooms to turn brown before the beautiful color could form. I’m curious if there is a way to possibly prune twice so they may bloom later in the season. 🤷🏼♀️ Even though each season of different, was just curious.
Love how abundant but also how relaxed gardens are come fall time. ❤
Hi, @Cherryparfait41! That's not something that we have experience with, but you could definitely try. Let us know how it goes!
gorgeous. FYI, if you intend to grow lilies, they are lethally poisonous to cats - even just tiny amounts of pollen so do be careful if you have pets/neighborhood cats.
Where can I get seeds for the Sunflower Sparky? I need those!
My vine didnt do well in OK…guess its to hot but sprouted so quickly inside
I am in MO and I have tried for 2 yes with no luck. But Blk Eyed Susan vine and Butterfly Pea grew great.
Are your heptacodium the temple of bloom variety?
Hi, @jenniferspoor2402! Yes - they are!
Need to get u a mic… hard to hear 😉
I can hear just fine
Chris needs to slow down and get the details of the plants while she's discussing them, I still dont know what the alba cup and saucer vine looks like. Anyways, I wanted to warn anyone in the northeast against getting that seven sons tree, it is an invasive tree from asia and now that the invasive asian spotted lantern fly has shown up stateside they use those trees as hosts. So you will essentially be inviting a sap sucking disgusting pestilence into your garden. Spotted lantern fly is being contained so far to the northeast so that is why erin has no clue about the danger long term these invasives present in her garden/farm.
The “Alba” one is the greenish looking Cup & Saucer that Erin is holding in her hand for the entire video.
(Cup & Saucer comes in 2 colours…purple and the greenish/“white” colour.)
